Valmets

[hbean]

The name specific exemption was given to M78 a "AK-47" variant made by Valmet of Finland, even if someone else opens up a new factory in Finland call themselves Valmet and start producing M78 again, RCMP will still call it an AK clone.


BTW when did we change Tuesdays to "Necro Posting Tuesday"?

Just buy an SG54X.... same basic design with some improvments.

This. Leave it to the Swiss to make a better AK.

Because some of us want to see pictures. Not that any of us are working on our own conversions or anything

Well, not really. The valmet plant produced full auto rifles and various other military things.

The I understood that there were two semi-only valmets that were explicitly non-restricted. A .223 and a .308 rifle.

There have been some awesome Galil conversions done with those.

Wait a minute. Valmets came from the same factory as the full auto versions yet they are not prohibited.

Yet, the Swiss Arms "might" become prohibited because it shared design characteristics of the Sig 550. (might be wrong model)

And other firearms are prohibited because they came from factories where the full autos were made.

My head spins at the complex and confusing firearms laws of this land.

No, Swiss Arms might be prohibited because few of the rifles were made from uppers that was converted from refurbished full auto uppers instead from uppers that were build from scratch as semi auto.

Those specific rifles would be converted autos if the upper once was a completed full auto rifle, and thus prohibited as such.

They are viewing the entire line for prohib stauts as a variant of a named prohib, the 55x.

Two lines of prohibition surrounding the same rifle series.

That's fireball's conversion. Canuck1978 appears to also have done one - his is the one I'd love to see I mean if I nag enough and cause his inbox to be littered with updates, he'll post them eventually, right?

Not if you purchased the rights from the company that now owns the original valmet design and produce the original rifles under the original license/name/design. It would be the same as HK USA producing german HK designs or the sigs being produced in Chile.
